The Strong Black Woman Syndrome. For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives--never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain. Hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being "twice as good" is often not good enough. Consequently, Black women disproportionately experience anxiety and depression. Studies now conclusively connect racism and mental health--and physical health. Take care of your emotional health. You deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that change their lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a We wear the mask -- Both sides now -- Through the fire -- The reimagined history of my heart : of Harriet, of Rosa, of Fannie Lou, of Patrisse -- The story of my body -- Me too -- Fear loathing love : our bodies inside out -- Falling days of dying, rage and redemption -- Another mourning in America -- Say my name -- Healing stories -- Coda : new age strong Black women. 650 0 $a African American women $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a African American women $x Mental health. 650 0 $a African American women $x Psychology. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013427.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211113010139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5955334C444F11EC89A41A2526ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
